Re^4: s///g within m//g regions

Thanks for all the variants, I've learned some things I've missed before and re-learned some things I've forgotten (this seems to happen every time I don't use perl for a couple of months or so).

The problem I see with SSCCE (despite its benefits) is that it encourages "particularization" instead of generalization; so after getting example-tailored responses, one has to play whack-a-mole with them to get to the original, abstract problem / "programming malaise".

Then again, those example-tailored responses always teach new bits of ingenuity. Anyway, thanks again.

Is incumbent upon the question asker to provide a suitable coverage of test cases to meet their requirements. 🦛	[reply]

> encourages "particularization" instead of generalization; I like generalizations too. I think the variations I showed are as general as possible and cover all use cases I could imagine. Otherwise please provide an SSCCE ... ;-p Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
